Hi, is it possible to make an app in BMax (I have MaxGUI) that sits in the icon tray area and monitors keyboard and mouse so that it can respond to certain keys/clicks/gestures etc. when the user is just using Windows or other apps? Also will the app be able to get CPU cycles so it can keep track of elapsed time since a certain event and so on? Thanks.

I realise I could probably do this with a screensaver but I don't want to display anything on screen.
